Sachin Tendulkar skips West Indies tour
Sachin Tendulkar's decision to skip the West Indies tour altogether (he had already opted out of the limited overs leg) to spend time with his family is bizarre, and unprecedented.
He has so far skipped 3 test tours completely because of injury - Sri Lanka 2001 (fractured toe), Zimbabwe 2005 (not yet fit after elbow surgery) and West Indies 2006 (not yet fit after shoulder tear).
So this would pretty much mean that his last act in a test match in the West Indies was being bowled by Pedro Collins for a brilliant 86, triggering a collapse that ended with West Indies winning the series 2-1.
52.6 Collins to Tendulkar, OUT: Sabina Park erupts! super delivery on the off and cutting in, the ball stayed a touch low, Tendulkar tries to defend it but can't get down in time, the ball crashes into the off and middle stump, the Indian ship is sinking!His last act in all internationals in the West Indies was being bowled by Dilhara Fernando in the 2007 World Cup, for a blob.
11.3 Fernando to Tendulkar, OUT, and Tendulkar goes! Could this be his last World Cup innings? The ball pitched outside off stump, nipped back, Tendulkar lunged forward, the ball hit the inside edge of the bat and crashed into leg stump, huge huge wicket for Sri Lanka and India are fading away.My worry isn't about him missing the series, but more about the why. If he wanted to spend time with the family, wouldn't it have made sense to skip the ODIs in West Indies and England, and make himself available for the tests? After all, everyone, including him, bleats on about how test cricket is the ultimate form of the game.
I don't buy the argument that he should have rested from a few IPL games. His side hadn't yet qualified, and by screwing up a few games in a row at the end, they risked not making it to the top 4. As a captain, it was his responsibility to ensure that Mumbai Indians qualified. Remember that they didn't automatically qualify until Deccan Chargers went down last Saturday.

Perhaps, the senior pros didn't attach a lot of importance to Windies tour as is obvious. Windies cricket is in shambles and is looked down by many. But IPL does question a lotta cricketer's commitment.

I guess Sachin deserves this rest because of non stop cricket that India has been playing since the world cup. Its shock to see the taunts from Indian fans especially when Sachin has done so much for his team.

Sachin Tendular is certainly not doing right like skiping these type of tour. he is playing ipl but not want to play for india. what is bizzare thing.

Well this is nice information about cricket and could you please updates this post with new information on regular basics.

sachin is a great batsman but he is very unlucky for the Indian team because whenever he scored a century Indian team loos the match. but no doubt he is the great player and i hope he completes his centuries of centuries as soon as possible.

It would be great to have England Cricket Tours. Watch cool matches and get to be trilled live!
everybody talks about sachin never delivers when needed, what about the would have been happen to those matches if sachin had not scored those run. It means the team would have lost many more matches. try to rewrite the record books with the 0 scored by sachin in every match & see how many...
